The writing is excellent for a modern setting where dialogue particularly has a tendency to become too life-like. The premise is so intriguing and the whole story has a gothic feel while being only partially gothic.
The characters are varied and well-drawn. There was a point where I was a bit fed up with Eleanor's sanctimoniousness, but that blew over fairly quickly. There's drugs, art, levelled up treasure hunts, maniac fanatics, a house boat, alcohol, murder, covering up of murder, dysfunctional and slightly incestuous families that are very loyal and so likeable for that. What's not to love?
It's also set in London, my favourite city in the world. Read it, you won't regret it.
